I read this... it hits home. My wife has decided to separate from me and for the last week I have been trying to convince her otherwise. I have reached the conclusion that at least for now, unless something changes her mind later, that she will move out. This morning, I had that idea to go on a trip with her and the kid for the weekend (to basically forget our problems before we get down to the nitty gritty part), to just have one last moment, to go out with a spark, so to speak. I'm not sure if she will accept my offer, which is 100% genuine...its not a ploy to get her back, its just that I want to have one last happy time together we both can remember, instead of how miserable we were.... anyhow, I appreciate your post, I also sit here at the same time with knot in my stomach and a lower pain in my back.

I'm so sorry. I met my husband just after my 21st birthday. Fast forward over 22 years & we've been through it all. I don't know if you guys have truly reached the end of your road together. If you have, parting with dignity & one last time of joy & togetherness is a beautiful idea. In your few posts here you have shown an eloquence, warm heart & compassion. Maybe a sincere letter expressing your feelings & intent to patch the fractured parts in hope, with time they can heal would be a good idea at this point. I'm a hapless optimist. I have to believe that an ember of true love can be fanned back to flame. I wish you all the best.

Beautiful! It brings tears in my eyes while reading it. I remember something for every line I passed. Can'y find a word to describe it, Nice, I love it!
